According to Hardwood Paroxysm, there’s a lot of smoke surrounding the idea that Hunter would prefer to continue his career elsewhere amid the Cavs’ sluggish start to the season.
“Among the things I tend to squint skeptically at is when someone says ‘that guy wants out bad.’ NBA players do tend to have pretty good perspective—they make tens of millions to play basketball, and their worst situation is still pretty good. But there’s a lot of smoke around the idea that De’Andre Hunter, or at least his representation, would prefer he be somewhere else," HP reports.
This season, 28-year-old Hunter is averaging 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in around 27 minutes per game.
Meanwhile, after finishing first in the Eastern Conference last season, the Cavs have started this season slowly and are currently sitting seventh in the standings with a 22-19 record.
